Take a wee break to think about what you’ve heard, enjoy the social bits, switch off. Also, wear layers as you don’t know what the temperature in the room(s) will be so you need options. Avoid the photographer and consider playing conference bingo. […]

Tue, 01 Mar 2016 16:45:03 +0000http://mixosaurus.co.uk/?p=3094#comment-8057You are totally made for a project on early modern religious discourse! I figure that with nurses for parents and growing up in Ye Olde Home Citie and a Catholic education I was basically doomed to end up doing early modern lit and the history of science.

Yeah, I don’t think I trust anyone to actually *do* the study, or to not do it and then try and read too much into it. I mean, there is nothing that says you can’t be interested in (and) good at the study of early modern literature/history if you’re from Tunis, or Alaska, or Milton Keynes.

The mapping difficulty is the thing that keeps me interested, I think. It’s the way that up to a certain point it all maps well onto what you know of the present and then just veers off at that point and becomes unrecognisable and then you have to do the delving to work out what the context is and why something happens.

Tue, 01 Mar 2016 14:05:27 +0000http://mixosaurus.co.uk/?p=3094#comment-8056That would be fascinating! I do wonder myself whether it was sort of inevitable that I’d end up with such an interest in history – between that and the convent school education my partner reckons I’m made for a project on Early Modern religious discourse. But then again, plenty of people grow up in that city and don’t become historians!

I would be worried if such a study could be used to scoff at people (and especially scholars) who don’t come from places with a rich (Western European) historical background just because I’ve had reason to become disillusioned with what people will try to be unbearably snobbish about, but as long as it’s not being used to predict ability or sensitivity to history I think it would be really interesting to explore.

And yes, those different ways of mapping and really not mapping onto the modern world are so interesting.
